Hi all,
Are there any online resources/instructions for a Duotone Unit bladder replacement? I've found the video below for an Echo, but my issue is with the strut bladder, which is absent from the Echo.
there are two strings at the front of the strut bladder. attach some kite lines or fishing lines to these so you can pull the bladder back in. You can pry open the lazy pump clips w/ a small screwdriver and push the dump valve in.
pull the old strut bladder out. repair/replace, and pull the new one in.

Thanks! I just noticed that the video includes the Unit strut repair at minute 26. The video description wrongly specifies that it's an Echo strut.

A cut leading edge must be sewn. Tape will not hold. Bladder will explode and 2cm cut will become 20cm destruction and expensive repair.
